Once upon a time, there lived a wood-cutter and his wife who had three sons.The eldest two were strong and tall,and their mother and father were always telling them how handsome and clever they were.But the younger son was, to tell you the truth, just a bit simple in the head.
He wasn't very tall, and he wasn't very strong, and his family thought he was good for nothing.They hardly ever called him by his real name, but instead they gave him a cruel nickname.They called him Dummy, because they said he was stupid.
One day the eldest son wanted to go to the forest to cut wood.The mother praised him for being such a useful boy and before he set out,she gave him some of her best fruit cake for his lunch, and a bottle of wine to wash it down.While the boy was walking through the forest, he met a little grey old man who said to him:
"Do give me a little piece of you cake and a swig of your wine.I'm so terribly hungry and thirsty."
